DGA Rules 'You Can See Everything' Out of Theatrical Feature Race
The Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim film will compete only in the DGA documentary directing category, as documentaries cannot enter the theatrical prize.
You Can See Everything will not compete for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Theatrical Feature Film at the Directors Guild of America Awards, according to Slashfilm. The film is instead entered only in the guild's documentary directing category, since documentaries are not eligible for the theatrical feature film directing prize.
The film is directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. It profiles Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos founder, and features Amanda Seyfried playing Holmes in recreations.
A24, the studio behind the film, has submitted Seyfried for Best Supporting Actress and entered the film itself for Best Picture and Best Director. You Can See Everything is currently playing in theaters.
Oscar submissions continue alongside guild run
The DGA placement affects only the guild's directing race; the studio's Oscar submissions remain in place in the acting, picture and directing fields. Seyfried previously played Holmes in the miniseries The Dropout in 2022.
The guild's top prize has historically been a strong indicator of the Academy Award for Best Director: since the DGA Awards began, its winner has gone on to win the directing Oscar except on eight occasions.
